I make up my brine to 21%, with a bit of acid and CaCl2, and then maintain it between 19-21% by adding a few tablespoons of salt every 3-4 cheeses.... I check the SG with a wine hydrometer, which just happens to have a scale (for potential alcohol) that matches perfectly with the salt percentage.... Here is a writeup on it....

Thanks all, I removed whey promptly whilst this one was dry-salting, it then 'wept' for a few more days and is now dry.
